Dr. Karen Payne

DPRK Project with iMMAP/WFP, 2009-2015

It is my privilege to be part of the GISCorps, iMMAP, ITOS and WFP team developing much needed data for the wider humanitarian community. My role has been to develop the data processing protocol, trouble shoot questions from volunteers, manage data flow and documentation, and at the end of the project make the data available to the public through our portal (https://gistdata.itos.uga.edu). It has been a truly great experience and I am grateful for the generosity of the group of professionals who have provided their time and expertise.

I can’t say enough good things about the management of the GISCorps as an organization. I think Shoreh does an exceptional (unpaid!) job managing both people and projects. It is a pleasure to watch her and learn.
